What are some symptoms of asbestos exposure?

Symptoms of asbestos exposure typically do not appear right after you have been exposed to asbestos. There are some instances where you may experience a wheezing cough or difficulty in breathing shortly after being exposed; however, most often, symptons do not appear until 15 to 20 years after being exposed. Common symptoms associated with asbestos exposure include:

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Frequent cough

Difficulty in breathing or swallowing

Sudden fever

Swelling of the face or neck

Nausea

Anemia

Loss of appetite/ weight loss

While these symptoms do not automatically signify that you have been exposed to asbestos and are experiencing health issues because of it. That is why it is best to go to a doctor who will be able to determine whether or not asbestos caused your symptoms and provide you with a treatment plan that is best for you. It is important to seek medical aid as soon as you are experiencing any asbestos-related health issues because the effects of asbestos exposure can lead to cancer or even death.
